Howard Hughes
Julius Caeser

I read Newton died a virgin, so doubt he had an awesome life.

Howard Hughes seemed to have an awesome life but he was a stingy rock that didn't donate a penny. I don't want to live his life.

Ron Jeremy spends his life having sex or making people who argue against having sex look bad. I'd say that qualifies as awesome.
